Aims

On successful completion of this module students will be able to analyse and evaluate the potential of using advanced manufacturing technologies to improve the competitive advantage of the organisations adopting them. The student will develop knowledge and understanding of advanced manufacturing technologies, digitalisation and a range of advanced manufacturing technologies. They will also develop their own research activities into the latest developments.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Illustrate the principles of advanced manufacturing systems engineering and explain their relevance to the design and enhancement of manufacturing systems.
2.
Use a range of analysis tools to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a manufacturing system, and then develop an appropriate future state for that system.
3.
Analyse an existing manufactured product and associated process to introduce proposals for possible improvements based on the introduction of advanced manufacturing technologies.
4.
Outline the impact of different production planning approaches and advanced manufacturing technologies on the effectiveness of a manufacturing system
5.
Evaluate the factors that enable manufacturers to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world
